Find tiling projects before the finishing trades are booked

Extensions, new homes and property conversions are being planned in your area. Many could create opportunities for wall and floor tiling in kitchens, bathrooms and other living spaces. Planr helps you spot potentially relevant projects and introduce your business earlier.

Your next tiling project could already be in someone’s building plans

Imagine a homeowner planning a large kitchen extension with a new tiled floor. Or a developer converting an existing property into several flats, each requiring new kitchens and bathrooms.

Both projects could involve substantial tiling work, but you might not hear about them until the main construction is nearing completion.

The planning applications could already be publicly available.

Finding potential work manually means checking council portals, reviewing proposed layouts and identifying projects that may need the tiling services you offer.

Planr does the searching and helps bring potentially relevant applications to your attention.

What Planr looks for for tilers

Planr identifies planning applications that may create opportunities for wall and floor tiling businesses, including:

• Kitchen extensions: Projects that could involve new tiled floors or splashbacks.
• Bathroom and en-suite additions: Extensions and conversions that may include new wet areas.
• New homes: Developments that could require tiling throughout kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms.
• Residential conversions: Buildings being divided into flats or adapted for residential use.
• Major property renovations: Alterations that may involve replacing existing wall or floor finishes.
• Commercial conversions: Projects that could create opportunities for specialist floor and wall tiling.

Planning applications rarely specify the final choice of wall or floor finishes. Many standalone bathroom and kitchen renovations also take place without planning permission.

Planr highlights projects with potential relevance. You review the details and decide which opportunities suit your business.

Introduce your tiling services with the project in mind

Once you’ve found an application that interests you, Planr helps you create a personalised letter introducing your business.

Your letter can reference the proposed kitchen extension, conversion or new home rather than arriving as a generic tiling advert.

On Growth and Pro, Planr can also learn about your business from your website, helping your letters reflect the services you actually offer, whether that’s bathroom tiling, kitchen tiling, large-format porcelain, natural stone or specialist floor finishes.

Download the letter to print and post yourself, or choose Planr’s Print & Post service for £2.50 per letter.

Nothing gets posted without your approval.

Find potential tiling work beyond your usual builder contacts

Recommendations from builders, bathroom fitters and previous customers are valuable, but they won’t necessarily show you every new project being planned nearby.

Planr gives you another way to discover potential tiling opportunities across your chosen council areas.

Review the applications, select the projects that match your services and make a professional introduction while the work is still being planned.

You decide which opportunities are worth pursuing.
